　　A. A newspaper. B. A magazine on science.

　　C. A fairy tale.　D. A scientific fantasy book.

　　【参考答案】1—5、CBADB

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.

　　I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.

　　The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With e­mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

　　As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up.

　　You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
